De Graafschap's record across the same span reads five wins, four draws and eleven losses, with 31 goals scored against 54 conceded. Their recent league results have been patchy too, a win over Den Bosch and another over Jong Utrecht, but also heavy defeats to Jong AZ, Almere City and Heracles.

Volendam go into this with the far steadier recent form.

Comparative Team Statistics: FC Volendam vs De Graafschap

Head-to-head: recent meetings have gone either way

The two sides have met regularly down the years, and the most recent meetings have split evenly. Volendam won 2-1 at home in December 2024, but De Graafschap had won 4-3 at home the previous August. Further back, the head-to-head is scattered across different eras and squads, so it doesn't tell us much about current form.

History offers no strong lean either way here.

Table reflects the form gap

Volendam sit around eighth in the Eerste Divisie, with roughly 15 points from their first ten league games and a healthy goal difference.

De Graafschap are down nearer the bottom of the division, on 11 points from the same number of matches and with a goal difference of minus ten. That's a clear gap between the two sides this season.

Key men: Veerman leads the line for Volendam

Harm Veerman has been Volendam's main threat, with eight goals in seven matches, while Nick Doodeman has supplied five assists in the same spell. That's a sharper scoring record than anything De Graafschap can currently match, with Juan Kania leading their list on just four goals in seven games.

Penalty cards:

T. Kok x 1 x 3

D. Warmerdam x 3

At the back, De Graafschap's Thom Kok and Delano Warmerdam have both picked up cards this season, including a red for Kok, which hints at a defence under strain.

Volendam's attacking numbers look considerably more productive right now.

What kind of game this could be

Volendam have scored in nearly every match this season and rarely come away empty, while De Graafschap have conceded freely, especially on the road. That points to goals being a feature again, particularly with Volendam at home where they've been finding the net regularly.

De Graafschap have also shown they can score even in losing causes, so a tight, goalless battle looks unlikely.
